The Washington Commanders [3-4] look to get back to .500 on Sunday with a trip to Indianapolis to face the Colts [3-3-1]. When the schedule was released in the spring, many had this game circled on the calendar because of Washington quarterback Carson Wentz’s return to Indianapolis, where he spent the 2021 season.
However, Wentz will not play Sunday. Neither will his replacement in Indianapolis, as Matt Ryan was benched earlier this week. Now, we have a matchup between Taylor Heinicke and Sam Ehlinger, who will bring a similar style of play into this game.
Both teams play good defense and will look to rely on the running game to come away with the victory. We’ve identified four matchups to watch in Sunday’s game between the Commanders and the Colts.
